Hi Paulus.

We haven't put a lot of thought into the web part yet, so if you're 
interested feel free to help out. ;)

Thing is, as the whole project so far is in Python (like smolt) it would 
be great if the web interface would be in Python as well, but it's 
definitely not a requirement. It probably would mean duplicate effort 
though as code reuse will be non existent if the web interface uses a 
different language than the other code. Just my EUR 0.02. ;)

Read ya, Phil
